025 - Twenty Five Episodes of Incoherent and ill-Informed Comic Talk

Its our anniversary show, and we're celebrating with almost 3 more hours of what we do best around here... or at least what we do a lot of around here... talking comics and stuff.  Hydra ponies up some cash to sponsor the big anniversary show (finally helping us to pay some bills) and sneaks in some thought provoking propoganda before a new version of our favorite theme song, Baked Beans, peppered with some of our favorite moments from the first 24 episodes.  Hail Hydra!  And, after all that, we do eventually record a show... We announce our disdain for Dr. Who, Doc screws up the special anniversary guest booking, and the guys talk about Lady Thor, the death of Archie, our network expense checks and the return of the "Back Issue Review".  Before Nickel finally satisfies the listeners' demands, and revives the back Issue Review with a discussion of Fantastic Four #3, we take a look at some of the comics from July 9, 2014 during the aptly named "Rapid-Fire Review" segment.  The books this week include Lumberjanes #4, Batman Eternal #14, Detective Comics #33, Grayson #1, Justice League United #3, '68 Rule of War #4 (of 4), Spread #1, All-New X-Men #29, Amazing Spider-Man #1.3, and Amazing X-Men #9, Avengers #32, Deadly Hands of Kung-Fu #3 (of 4), Fantastic Four #7, Nightcrawler #4, Original Sin #5.1, Spider-Man 2099 #1, United States of Murder Inc. #3, Winter Soldier the Bitter March #5 (of 5), Wolverine #10, X-Force #7, Rai #3, Grimm Fairy Tales #99, and Grimm Fairy Tales Presents Robyn Hood Legend #5 (of 5).  After chosing out books of the week, and trying out Doc's new scoring system, we get to an abbreviated version of Back-Issue Review, and wrap things up with a look ahead to the books coming out on July 16th and an important message about cyberbullying.  Thanks to everyone who has checked out our unorthodox podcast during the first 25 episodes...  and Hail Hydra!
